Scenario: During a brainstorming session, after several ideas have been suggested, Chloe asks, "Can someone remind us what the specific requirements for this section are?" Chloe is primarily playing which role?

Scenario: A project group has just been formed. The members introduce themselves and seem hesitant to take charge or offer strong opinions. This group is likely in which stage?

Scenario: After some initial disagreements, a student group has figured out who is good at research, who is good at design, and they generally agree on how to proceed. This group is likely in which stage?

Scenario: A student group works like a well-oiled machine. They handle disagreements smoothly, members fulfill their roles, and they are making excellent progress. This group is likely in which stage?

Scenario: Lisa notices that Sam hasn't spoken yet in the meeting. She says, "Sam, we haven't heard from you yet. Do you have any thoughts on this idea?" Lisa is playing which role?
